Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino returning to position in El Centro: Sources

just read about this and I'm getting a bad vibe from it ... Tom Homan being sent out there with Trump's direct oversight is not a good idea at all... it feels like another example of chaos and lack of control in the system... meanwhile, Pretti's family deserves justice and we should be focusing on making sure something like this never happens again ... can't help but wonder if these high-profile incidents are being used to fuel more divisive rhetoric rather than having a real impact on policy changes

Just saw that Trump is gonna hand pick Tom Homan to run immigration ops in Minneapolis and it's like, what even is this? It's not just about the politics, it's about safety. Like, if you're a cop and someone's already got your number, you don't wanna be stuck in some sketchy situation where things can go sideways. And meanwhile Bovino comes back to his role and no one even mentions that Guess it's all about who's got the ear of Trump for now

man i'm getting worried about what's going on with immigration enforcement these days like is this gonna be a permanent thing where trump just does whatever he wants and bypasses protocol? it's crazy that tom homan is being brought in to oversee things directly, no accountability or checks and balances whatsoever. and meanwhile pretti's family is still grieving and the public is getting more and more frustrated with these agencies can't we just have a calm discussion about immigration reform instead of resorting to heavy-handed tactics?

man, it feels like we're living in some kinda wild west over here . Trump's decision to bypass normal protocols and have Tom Homan report directly to him is just plain concerning. I mean, shouldn't there be some sort of accountability mechanism in place when it comes to overseeing immigration enforcement? It's one thing to crack down on border security, but another to start making decisions that skirt around the rule of law .

And can we talk about how quickly people are jumping to defend federal agents involved in this incident without seeing all the facts? Pretti was killed in the line of duty, and his family deserves some real answers about what went down . We need more transparency here, not less.

This whole thing just feels like a slippery slope, where we're gonna keep chipping away at our civil liberties until there's nothing left . I'm all for securing our borders, but let's do it in a way that doesn't compromise our values or put people like Pretti in harm's way .

I'm just so worried about what's going on with our country . It feels like we're living in a scene from a movie where everything is getting more intense and out of control by the minute. I mean, who needs a permanent head for the El Centro sector? It just seems like a bunch of revolving doors to me... Reminds me of the '90s when things were already chaotic with Operation Gatekeeper .

And now this Tom Homan guy being appointed directly to Trump? It's like we're going back to the old days where the president thinks they can bypass all these checks and balances just because they want to. And with Pretti getting shot in Minneapolis, it just feels like another example of how things have gotten more militarized... I keep thinking about that one time when George Tosa was killed by ICE agents in Chicago .

I know some people will say this is all just politics, but it's hard for me to see it as anything other than a national crisis . We need to figure out how to address these tensions without sacrificing our values of justice and human rights...

Ugh I guess I gotta side with my friends on this one but like can't we just agree that Trump is being super weird again? This "tough but fair" team thing sounds like a total power grab to me And what's up with Tom Homan? He was a major part of the whole ICE debacle and now he gets to be Trump's personal immigration enforcer?

And omg can we talk about the fact that federal agents are still lying about Alex Pretti's actions? I mean, come on guys, video evidence is like super clear here. It's not like anyone had to actually shoot him or anything But nope, let's just say he was "brandishing" a gun and was trying to harm officers... yeah right

I don't know man, it feels like the administration is just trying to spin this whole thing to make themselves look good, but honestly it's just looking like they're being super reckless with public safety . And what about Bovino? Like isn't he a little too quick to defend his agents when there's evidence that suggests they might have messed up?
